  a1cd99e700ec ("selftests/resctrl: Adjust effective L3 cache size with SNC enabled")

introduced the snc_nodes_per_l3_cache() function to detect the Intel
Sub-NUMA Clustering (SNC) feature by comparing #CPUs in node0 with #CPUs
sharing LLC with CPU0. The function was designed to return:
  (1) >1: SNC mode is enabled.
  (2)  1: SNC mode is not enabled or not supported.

However, on certain Hygon CPUs, #CPUs sharing LLC with CPU0 is actually
less than #CPUs in node0. This results in snc_nodes_per_l3_cache()
returning 0 (calculated as cache_cpus / node_cpus).

This leads to a division by zero error in get_cache_size():
  *cache_size /= snc_nodes_per_l3_cache();

Causing the resctrl selftest to fail with:
  "Floating point exception (core dumped)"

Fix the issue by ensuring snc_nodes_per_l3_cache() returns 1 when SNC
mode is not supported on the platform.

Could you please include Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> and linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org 
in resctrl selftest posts?

Thank you.
I apologize for omitting the kselftest maintainer and mailing list.
I will ensure they are included in the v2 patch series submission.
